I’ve loved horror movies as long as I can remember, I think because monsters represent ‘the other’ and as a gay kid I felt a powerful sense of kinship with those characters who were different, outlawed, or forbidden.“I wanted to make a movie that celebrates queerness, with characters that I never saw when I was growing up.
When people walk away from the movie, I hope they’re going to remember the incredible love that these kids have for each other and how that love needs to be protected and celebrated.”They/Them will debut exclusively on peacock on August 5..
